FILUNI
AUPresses has offered discounted exhibit space for members at the Feria International del Libro Universitario (FILUNI) since its inaugural edition in 2017. Held Mexico City in August or September, FILUNI is the first international university press book fair hosted in Latin America, drawing university press publishers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, USA, Spain, Peru, and Mexico. The fair is organized by the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) through its press.
